Anime Insider, issue 56 (May 2008) is now out. In this issue, the biggest spoiler of all was revealed in the Death Note article – which really, really ticked off Rachel. So be very, very cautious!
On the bright side, there’s a great article called ‘Viva La Revoltech’, which covers the latest new on Kaiyodo’s incredible Revoltech figures. The main feature articles are:
- Voices of a Lucky Star – The sky’s the limit as Anime Insider reveals the secretes of dubbing an anime cult hit.
- Poetry Slammed – The results of the 50th-issue haiku contest.
- The Secret Garden – An exclusive look at Japan’s hottest seven-part anime movie series, ‘Garden of Sinners’
- All for One – Why you and every anime fan you know should be watching the pirates of ‘One Piece’.
- The Unusual Suspects – As the hunt for Kira heats up in “Death Note”, who will Light face on his path to world domination?
- Ultimate Venus Manga Preview – One girl lands a mountain of riches, hot guys and all the headaches that come with them.
There’s also a fun Last Man Standing, featuring Allen Schezar from “The Vision of Escaflowne” versus Gunter Von Christ from “Kyo Kara Maoh”!
Remember my warning – watch out for spoilers!!!

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
I wouldn’t say it was the biggest spoiler of all, but it was pretty big. It was definitely big enough for me to toss the magazine down and spit out a stream of expletives concerning the paternity of all those who fail to put SPOILER on something as big as a magazine article. AI should know better. Thank the lord I have a selective memory….
I got this issue from mail today and I just finish reading it. I wish they would put 5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND by Makoto Shinkai on the cover ^_^
